Answer:
33m
Step-by-step explanation:
In A rectangle with a diagonal, the diagonal line divides the rectangle into two right angled triangle.
The diagonal serves as the hypotenuse and the other two sides serves as the opposite and adjacent.
According to Pythagoras theorem;
Hypotenuse ² = Adjacent ²+opposite ²
If diagonal = 65m = hypotenuse
Let Length = opposite = 56m and;
width = adjacent = x
Substituting this values in the formula we have;
65² = x²+56²
x² = 65²-56²
x² = 1089
x = √1089
x = 33m
Therefore the width of the rectangle is 33m
